Yet tbey are not dead. Tbey only

?he address of the evening by Will-

i merit of brevity as  be  spoke  on-
90 minutes.    We do not know   who

in tbe "Story of Achievement" Mr.
ng dealt chiefly witb   tbe  concrete

men to illustrate bis   story.    Dan-

t& refused to be  beaten   in   tbe   ef
irt.
Pres. Perry iu a few words to the
aae presented tbe diplomas and anther school year became a thing of
ta past.
They risked their lues as tbeir
comrades did. and with thankful
hearts we welcome bome their returning leRions—welcome tliem bome to
the tasks ot pesce. For their work is
not done. While they have been
away new and in-idious dangers bave
sprung up witbin the gstes of tbis
Republic. New perils menace it.
Only tbe courage aod the devotion
to high ideals and to our country's
honor can safeguard tbat bonor
against tbe threats of anarchy, disruption, and decay.
If they would let that dishonor
stand unchallenged, they; would be
false to tbe men wbo fell at tbeir
sides in tbat bell or war overseas.
Tbey would betray, as we would be
tray if we stood by iu sileoce, tbe
heroes, wbose spirits sbouid guide
ns to-day witb a truer and nobler
conrage to stand as soldiers should
stand in this battle for tbe preservation of oar liberties. Theirs is tbe
task to stand unflinching tbat tbis
country may live a flaming beacon
ligbt that wiii guide the weakened
nation, of tbe world tbrougb tbe
dark be urs still tn come before peace
and good will bave been reestablished
ia this world.
Araagements have now progressed
sufficiently that we can state with
some degree of accuracy the plans being made to entertain tbe soldiers
and sailors of Clare county and of
Wise, Vernon aad Gilmore townships,
Isabella connty wbicb are near to us.
About .1500 bas been raised, so tbat
things will not be done on any petty
scale.
Tbe Committee on Invitations are
seeking tbe name of every soldier and
sailor in tbe above territory tbat a
special invitation may be sent to
them. If tbere are any wbo do not receive a card, it is because tbe name
bas not been reported to the cotuiult-
tee.
Perhaps one of tbe most important
festures of any sucb undertaking is
tbe music Tbe committee has been
fortunate in securing Amsden's Military band of Saginaw, considered to
be one of tbe very best bands .in tbe
state. It will give a grand exibition
concert in the Park at 8 p. m , beside
other features during tbe day.
There will be something doing all
tbe time. At 10 a. m. there will ba
street sports and otber attractions.
From 12 to 1:30 basket picnic in Waterworks Park. At ".-.OO p. m. a ball
game at Wbeaton Ave. Park. A fast
team will play the city team, At rl 00
the Red Cross will Berve dinner to the
soldiers and sailors and no one need
worry about their having a full meal.
Soldiers and sailors on arrival io
the city will report at tbe City Hail
wbicb will be headquarters, More
particulars and full program next
week.
In applying for bis final citizenship
papers, Tony Slees. waa asked several questions by.. United States Erato-
i ln»r C. R. Thompson.
"Wbo !_ tbe  Governor   of    Michigan?" Siesa was ask*.
"Wilson," be promptly answered-
"Wbo is  tbe   biggest  man   in  tbe

"Christefaro Columbo," quoth be.
After  similar  answers  to    several
more questions, Judge Ray  Hart  de
ctded tbat Siesa bad better  wait until   the   September    bearing    before

Tbe house fly is tbe most terrible
single enemy tbat mankind bas

ibis prowler in tbe household bas

vermin, he is tbe most filthy; uf all
purveyors of disease, tbe most deadly. Good Health.
A station opened recently near
Grayling, in Crawford County, is
tbe first ot a series of demonstration
tracts wbich are to be established
throughout the counties of Northern
Micbigan for the purpose of developing tbe agricultural possibilities of
tbe section. The work ie being
Carried out under tbe direction of
Dr. M. M McCool, head of tbe soils
section of tbe experiment station at
tbe -.gricultural College, working in
cooperation witb tbe Northeastern
Micbigan Development Association.
The work will demonstrate tbe
proper agricultural practices for tbe
"sand plains" of tbe northern part
of the state. Proper cultural
methods; tbe most successful forage
and otber crops for tbe medium sand
lands: and tbe fertilizer requirements
for tbe adapted crops are the phases
of tbe project wbich will be pushed.

"It is poor policy in bome canning
to use rubber jar rings a second vear,"
declares Miss Anna ft. Cowles of East
Lansing, State Leader of Girls of
Canning Clubs. New robbers of good
quality are absolutely essential for
consistent success in canning
tops sbouid aleo be inspected carefully, as tbey must fit perfectly.
Even a new rubber is not necessarily a good one, lor tbere are many
rubbers of poor grade on tbe market
today. Miss Cowles gives tbe following tests for an acceptable ring:
1. A rubber sbouid stand a reasonable amount of stretching and polling without breaking and sbouid always return to its original shape.
2. A good rubber will not crack or
show results after being pinched between the thumb and fore finger-
3. For pint and quart jar. a robber
s'.ould be 5-ttJ or an inch wide, 1 12 of
an incb thick, and bave en inside diameter of 2 1 4 inches.
4. Color is no index of quality.
Good rings can be eitber red, wbite
or black.
Full information on canning subjects may be had by writing to- Mies

Clubs. East Lansinv.
For tbe vear ending May t, the

JULY THE FOURTH
By Edgar A. Guest.
At* when a little babe is born the parents cannot guess
Tlie story of the future years, their grief or happiness.
So came America to earth, the child of higher things,
A nation that should light the way for all men's visionings:
A land with but a dream to serve, such was our country then.
A prophet to prepare the way of liberty of men!
Great was the courage of the past; the tyrants power was strong,
Few spoke the praise of Freedom then, few sang her battle song
Until the bell of liberty rang out upon the morn
And told the world in Freedom's name a nation had been born
A nation that should lead the way to glorious years to be
Should pledge its soul to sacrifice to set all people free.
This is the heritage we hold who celebrate today:
We are the children of the men who dared to lead the way;
We are the sons of men who taught by fine examples true
The^lory they would have us keep, the deeds they'd have us do.
They did not serve in selfishness, nor teach us money love,
They placed a nation in our charge with Freedom's flag above.
I wonder do their spirits know the glory of today_
And can they see our banner fly three thousand miles away?
And do they know in Freedom's name on foreign soil onr sons,
Seeking no conquest for themselves, have braved the tyrant's guns.
Oh God, fling back heaven's curtains nowl Let our forefathers see
That what was but a dream to them at last has come to be.

Tbe other day tbere walked into
tbe office of tbe secretary of tbe
Nortbeastern Micbigan bureau a man
from Detroit, wbo wanted to get
some information about one of tbe
northern counties. He showed tbat
he bad a pretty fair knowledge of the
district and also tbat be was mucb ic
terested in tbe possibilities which it
offers and Secretary Mansion was
curious to find out what bad started
bim on the subject. "I p'eked up a
booklet about tbat county at tbe
state fair two years ago." be said,
"and ever since I read tbat booklet 1
bave been trying to bring things a-
roand eo tbat I could go up tbere,
invest in land and make it my bome.
I have just reached tne point and I
am on my way tbere now".
Tbe bureau bas issued booklets regarding nearly every county lu the
district, bae advertised by means ot
traveling exhibits, a permanent exhibit at Detroit and exhibit* at tbe
state and many county fair* and tbe
secretary knows that tbis work baa
broogbt many people into tbe district' bnt be never realised tbe far-
reaching effect of tbe advertising
until tbis man, who bad first been
reached by it two years ago, made
himself known. "He is only one,"
said Mr. Maraton. ' It would be
mighty interesting to know bow
many bave come into the district
through tbis advertising and bave
never been beard of at tbe development bureau's office".

Representative Madden of Illinois,

in tbe House in tbe course of wbicb
be discuseed tbe League of Nations

had tbis to say;
"It seems a pity tbal tbe peace term-

failure leaves a measure ot donbt ta
the minds of all tbe people aproad. I
am mere convinced, after a survey
ot tbe situation tbere, tbat America

possible for our people to mingle

Tbey do not think as we do. Invisible border lines make it necessary
for them to be watchful of each

are unchangeable.
"Tbe League of Nations, wbicb provides, if it should be approved bere
